For fans of Dan Brown's Origin, this gripping thriller from the acclaimed author of The Girl with All the Gifts and The Dead Sea Deception will keep you on the edge of your seat. Four hundred years ago, a prophet foretold the end of the world, and now his predictions are coming to fruition. Heather Kennedy, who left the Metropolitan police under a cloud three years ago, is called in to investigate a supposed burglary at the British Museum's reading room. However, it becomes clear that the intruder was not after valuables but rather sought to photograph pages from texts about Johann Toller, a 17th-century prophet who claimed the Apocalypse was imminent. While his prophecies had previously failed, they are now manifesting in alarming ways: the Rhine river runs red, London’s towers bow, and an angel with a fiery sword appears over Jerusalem. Teaming up with a nineteen-year-old girl from a secretive tribe and ex-mercenary Leo Tillman, Kennedy races against time to prevent the next prophecy—the destruction of an unnamed city—from becoming reality. This second installment featuring Heather Kennedy is as thrilling as its predecessor, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.
